Cinnamon Mint Saison
Saison • Extract • 5 gal
My father-in-law is a beekeeper. He gave me 3 pounds of honey to make beer. I am brewing this beer for Easter celebration. I am trying to balance/contrast the sweetness of the honey with the spiciness of the cinnamon, hops, and yeast. The mint should add a unique mellow smoothness.-brewsage

Crystal Malt 10°L
Crystal Malt 10°L
Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.
